Macroeconomic tailwinds including the booming economy and increased training needs caused by the lack of qualified workers in the job market have propelled merger and acquisition activity in the eLearning, Corporate & Professional Training industry. Additionally, turnover from the baby boomer generation to millennial workers has increased training needs, specifically in areas of management. Respondents to Training magazine’s 2018 Training Industry Report projected management and supervisor training costs to have the largest year-over-year budget increase in 2019. Companies that offer training focused on either select end markets or product segments such as sales, IT, leadership, or technical training, have been more highly sought after than general solutions and will likely be in high demand in the robust market.
